Synopsis:

Students gain knowledge about circuit testing and about methods for increasing reliability and security. They will get practical skills to be able to prepare a test set with the help of the intuitive path sensitization and to use an ATPG for automatic test generation. They will be able to design easy testable circuits and systems with built-in-self-test equipment. They will be able to analyze and control reliability and availability of the designed circuits.

Requirements:

Digital IC design (BIE-SAP).

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction, terminology, defects, faults

2. Test generation for combinational circuits

3. Automatic Test Patterns Generation algorithms (ATPG)

4. Sequential circuits testing, fault simulation

Study Objective:

Students will gain an overview about circuit testing and about methods for increasing reliability and dependability. Students will understand the complexity of fault detection, fault localisation, reliability evaluation and enhancement by solving practical examples and projects. They will be able to optimize the trade-off between introduced redundancy and the measure of testability and dependability of the proposed system. Students will obtain a competence for getting a position of testing engineer in the teams working on complex digital designs.
